Minnesota native, Stacy Kron spent her childhood drawing, painting, and fashioning unique compositions from little scraps of paper. Her passion for the arts led to a degree and eventually a series of stints at various design studios, where she further developed her creative voice. Following the birth of her first daughter, Kron put in her two weeks notice and embarked on an impending freelance career. Through word of mouth she collected leads, and soon enough the artist and self-taught photographer had established her own studio. Here, Kron touches on her love for design and the one place she can always count on to spark her imagination.

1

Where do you feel most inspired? When I’m at the lake, sitting under the sun, listening to good music. In Minnesota, we only get about three months of good weather, so I like to take full advantage. It’s a routine that’s always fueled my creative process.

2

How would you describe your personal style? I love an eclectic space that has been lived in, with a burst of color and comforting details.

3

What makes a home beautiful? Quirky and sentimental pieces that evoke happiness when you pass them by. And a little background music to complete the scene!

What’s your most prized possession? A charming antique cupboard from the late 19th century, which my parents acquired after purchasing an old farm. We’ve since replaced the knobs, but its distressed details and chipped paint remain.

5

On what items do you scrimp? Rugs (we have two little ones and something always spills), kitchen towels, and candles!

6

On what do you splurge? A good lifestyle-family photographer. I love having the pictures for my kids to look back on. I also love a unique art piece for the walls, and a fine pair of leather boots!
